aw man, I hate it when japanese artists distribute tracks in zip files with SHIFT_JIS filenames. I don't know how to make my unzip program decode the filenames correctly :/

what zip program?

aha, it turns out that there is a way.

my unzip tool happens to be compiled with an add-on patch which adds a -O option to specify the charset of the zip file

unzip -O SHIFT_JIS fixes it :)

huh, awesome. Unlike the published full version of the song, these karaoke versions are pre-mastering, and don't have their dynamic range compressed.

hah!

(which makes sense, given that the intent of the karaoke release is so that people would record cover vocals to it, mix+master their new version, then post it on nicovideo.jp)

he helpfully includes the background picture to use in the video, as well.

mmmm.. nicovideo..

we didn't have him here in norway in any way

sup mbz... anyone around?

bluedream: nope.

So it would seem.

Well I guess I will try at a more reasonable hour then.

huh, this one zip file of karaoke versions of this song includes alternate karaoke versions with the key shifted -/+2 semitones.

just finished watching http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0486541/ and feel like I've been hit in the forehead with a milk crate full of vinyl

... why am I still awake

ha. "Most people will naturally gravitate towards the page that tends to support their own opinions.

May I please get comments on: http://musicbrainz.org/edit/15043450 ? I plan on re-doing the edit, at this stage.

Syr Mahber is a compilation disc produced by SOJA featuring various artists including: Bobby Lee (SOJA), Luciano, Prezident Brown, Zedicus, Queen Ifrica, Ras Attitude, Jacob Hemphill (SOJA), Sister Carol, Ras Abel, Batch, Tony Rebel, Fear Nuttin Band, Don Carmelo (Gomba Jahbari), Jah Dan & Junior Kelly. Each artist was hand picked by SOJA to form a musical family tree with roots in "Be...

...Aware" and "Faith Works." Infusing sounds from Ethiopia, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, Washington DC, St. Croix & Brooklyn NY ---- Time will prove Syr Mahber to be a unique and unparalleled "riddim cd" as it is often referred to in the Caribbean.

Artist must be Various of SOJA?

i choose SOJA http://musicbrainz.org/release/9e487100-1b33-4a...

hi there

could omebody help me voting to those http://musicbrainz.org/search/edits?order=desc&...

discid removals so that I can add a track and attach the correct disc id (14 tracks) in hands ? I’ll thank you very much :)

link fixed (bug) http://musicbrainz.org/search/edits?order=desc&...

or http://bit.ly/mYKWWh

jesus2099: of corse i help you :-) mb in feture you help me to edit your MB traclist js

so i can copy all info in click

witch one chose for digital release http://i.imgur.com/qptGR.jpg

you should use "none" for the packaging for downloads

whether it's worldwide or not :P

dubwai: digital release → no package → “None” indeed

dubwai: thanks for the vote, I need two more ;) http://bit.ly/mYKWWh

dubwai: you mean you need more stuff in http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/89036 If I understood correclty you just need a new pattern in the settings, is that so ? or maybe you are missing some variables ?

no patter I can edit myself add [*] instead of number tracks

jesus2099: I wanna something like this http://i.imgur.com/ciF8L.jpg and even be better if result immiditly goes to buffer, because in firefox in this window doen't CTRL+A and even Right clik so selection not easy :-)

I can donate for it :-)

dubwai: I added a TODO in userjs page, it seems much more than what the script actually does (now: only tracklist, your request:whole release info) but why not in the future…... But I have so much work now I can’t do huge things… if you double or tripple click in the alert box, can’t you seledct everything like in Opera ?

double click only select 1 string, triple doesn't work

i think it's firefox glitch

i think it's not hard (but not for me:-) because all info stored in this page, so it's need only parse html.

nikki if you’re still here, it would be nice if you could approve http://bit.ly/mYKWWh as I have to give back the disc this afternoon and I won’t be able to submit correct TOC later…of corse I could store the URL somewhere but it would become boring sort of

it's not possible to approve them because they're remove edits

and I don't see why saving the url somewhere is "boring"

Meh

It would be soooo much easier to see if I missed some disc in this label if we could sort by cat#

(as before)

nikki: what’s “boring” is that a simple fix could span over days or weeks… that I wouldn’t do any more things like that…

Also, can we kill all the silly alias for VA?

reosarevok: they are useful, not silly

jesus2099, some are

But if I mistakenly search for stuff like "Symphony No. X, Op. Y" as artist, I get VA

Which makes no sense

Just back from http://www.endoftheroadfestival.com/ which was awesome, any other mb'rs gone to it.

hi

when i try to add a folder to picard it says

W: 140312112408352 15:48:44 Failed to decode filename: '/home/incus/public/jdownloads/(2007)_Koled45zy/(2007) Koledzy/07 - Komu Dzwoni\xa5 - [hipis [at freenet.de]].mp3'

my locales are pl_PL.UTF8; the filename is encoded in different charset

http://www.ebreggae.com/i595/M114158W595.jpg title musbe 1-"Rockerstyle !" 2-"Rockerstyle!" 3-"Rockerstyle"

dubwai: the space before the "!" looks like a design decision, not an "artist intent" decision. I would use choice #2

thx CallerNo6

CallerNo6: hmm his myspace and label use first one

LOL on hole site every ! contain space :-)

dubwai: yeah, I noticed that. I'm not sure if that's "artist intent" or just a typographical tic

but you /could/ make the case that the artist feels very strongly about this I guess.

dubwai: Looks like it's a practice carried over from French--which you can see written on his MySpace page

Ah, it's a French artist, at that :P

yes he french

so use first one?

what's the language of the album?

English

jabobbrett is right, it's a carry-over from French. But we /do/ correct punctuation when doing so doesn't conflict with "artist intent". I still vote for correct English punctuation, but I don't feel strongly about it. :)

Hello everyone. I would appreciate some input on an edit of mine, before it quietly passes without even an abstain vote: http://musicbrainz.org/edit/15061274

warp: much obliged

hey thanks very much for your votes dubwai, mihhkel and CallerNo6  ! I still need you for the same reason on the very last blocking edit for this correct TOC addition : http://musicbrainz.org/edit/15147746 ← after this one, I stop begging, promised.

ok

thanks dubwai, still 2 votes missing ;)

hi

I need some guidance

:)

There's a group named "Sans Pression" (with rappers: SP and Ti-Kid), Ti-Kid left and now SP performs under the name of Sans Pression (he released two albums under that name) but it's really just him. should I move the last two albums to the SP page (performed as Sans Pression) or leave it to the Sans Pression (group) page ?

I would leave it as Sans pression… maybe the band will include someone else next time… is the name SP mentionned on these two releases ?

SP is nowadays credited as SP or as Sans Pression when he features on other artist albums

I don't have the physical medium so I can't tell from the booklet

it would make sense to leave all 3 albums on the same page though
